Red Pepper Frittata

Recipe Summary

Preparation time: 45 minutes

Number of servings: 4

Ingredients

• 2 tsp olive oil, divided
• 2 red bell peppers, chopped
• 1/2 cup chopped celery
• 1/2 cup onions, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 cups egg substitute
• 1 Tbsp chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
• 1/2 tsp dried oregano
• black pepper to taste
• 1 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

In a large ovenproof frying pan over medium heat, warm 1 tsp oil. Add the red peppers, celery, onions, and garlic; cook, stirring frequently for 4 to 5 minutes, or until tender. Remove from heat and set aside.

In a large bowl, lightly whisk together the egg substitute, parsley, oregano, and black pepper. Stir in the vegetable mixture. In the same frying pan over medium heat warm the remaining 1 tsp oil. Add the egg mixture and cook until brown around the edges. Cover the pan and reduce heat to low. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the eggs are set.

Meanwhile, preheat the broiler. Sprinkle the frittata with the Parmesan. Place the pan about 5” from the heat and broil for 1 to 2 minutes, or until golden brown.

Serve cut into wedges.
